William,

Jeff follows the modeling techniques described in usage-centered
design with some alteration. Direct user observation (e.g.
contextual inquiry) didn't get much weight in the tutorial I
attended, however facilitating user sessions to uncover
requirements and building  role, task, and context models were.
The tutorials were participatory and very much hands on. I found
it quite interesting and applicable as I am working more and
more in an agile development environment trying to see how my
role and accountabilities fit in to this methodology.

A sample of the presentation and handouts are here:
